Health Insurance Confused with Health Care

At a recent meeting with Representative John Conyers and his staff, his office hosted an open session to discuss polling results about health care issues. Strikingly the
polling organization reported that access to health opinions differed based on the wording framed in the questions. The Polls that were conducted by Lake Research Partners pointed out that while Americans want access to care for everyone they do not want government sponsored health care.

So it seems that we have battles brewing between health care advocates over the means to pay for health care. But one thing is certain that while most people want no part of the current health insurance system they are equally against government health care insurance.

I side with those who want to build health care access infrastructure and health care finance in our communities, providing health care access for everyone cradle to grave. I am not at all interested in the national debate over how to replace an inefficient and wasteful system of health care finance with a government sponsored plan that creates even larger issues for access to health care.
